According to dubious source, the television-viewing public should feel shock and awe this morning to discover that The Apprentice will feature thirty-one-year-old self-made millionaire, Alla Wartenberg, who was once . . . a stripper. E! Online
reports that Wartenberg’s business savvy began when she discovered the
goldmine of the strip joint, performing under the name Ecstasy at Las
Vegas’s Palamino Club.
Legitimately troubling, however, is Wartenberg’s alleged relationship
with client Robert Acremant, a convicted murderer. Acremant was in love
with Alla and was known to shell out $500-$1,500 a night to the
dexterous dancer, though she says
that she only "liked him as a client. . . [it was a] platonic
friendship." In fact, in order to maintain the financial stability he
needed to stay in Alla’s life, in 1995 Acremant robbed and killed two
women in Oregon. Later, he pulled a stun gun on Alla when she told him
she didn’t love him. She was called to testify in his 2002 trial.
Acremant was convicted of murder in Oregon and California (where he
killed a young man in another mangled robbery attempt) and left Alla
"emotionally injured and scarred for life."
Wartenberg later
established a salon and spa chain and was one of eighteen hand-picked
contestants for the fourth season of "The Apprentice." Alla’s bio
is fairly vanilla and describes her business feats, such as purchasing
her first building at the age of nineteen. Although major news outlets
are scrambling for the stripper story, they seem to have overlooked the
truly debaucherous aspect of her character—she cites The Notebook as a favorite movie.
